Barrier Repair Face Cream

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Ceramide NP · CAS: 100403-19-8

2. Role in the formula

Ceramide NP is the primary sphingolipid in a multi-ceramide guide. It is paired here with cholesterol as a lamellar co-lipid. Levels are guides, not a skin-identical drug claim.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For gel-creams, the recorded level is 0.1–0.3% as a formulation guide.
• For richer creams, the reference gives 0.2–0.5% in this reference.

Introduce from a pre-dispersed lipid concentrate or a warm oil phase. Avoid long holds at high heat after the lipids melt.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• The CosIng record for Ceramide NP, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets the requirement for a safety evaluation of the product containing Ceramide NP as it will be marketed before the finished product is marketed.
• For Ceramide NP, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

For bulk storage, avoid warmth and direct sun and keep the container closed; for oxidation-sensitive formulas, consider an airless or pump pack; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Ceramide NP in a direction centered on ceramide barrier-lipid.

• The cosmetic listing does not support therapeutic outcomes, clinical cures, or a certification the finished SKU does not hold.
• The formulation record for Ceramide NP is not evidence for whitening, acne care as treatment, perspiration reduction, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Cholesterol · CAS: 57-88-5

2. Role in the formula

Cholesterol is the sterol co-lipid used with ceramides in barrier emulsions. This is a cosmetic lipid, not a serum-cholesterol claim.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Formulation guidance for gel-creams: 0.1–0.3% for the formula.
• Richer creams may use the guide range 0.2–0.5% in this reference.

Melt with the ceramide phase and cool under controlled shear.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Database information on Cholesterol does not replace review of the supplied grade and finished product under market rules.
• For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires an assessment of the safety of the final cosmetic containing Cholesterol at the level of the finished cosmetic product.
• Use the supplier TDS to confirm grade-specific details for Cholesterol and review the destination market's requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The use-level note is a reference for cosmetic formulation; no drug approval or OTC-monograph status follows from this guide with patch and stability testing still needed for the completed formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; test the selected package with the confirmed batch for stability and fit.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Cholesterol emphasizes lamellar co-lipid.

• The ingredient record provides no basis for a drug effect, a clinical cure, or certification status not established for the SKU.
• The ingredient record for Cholesterol provides no basis for skin whitening, treatment of acne, sweat control, UV protection, or hair-growth results.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Panthenol · CAS: 81-13-0

2. Role in the formula

For serums, gels, lotions, and washes, D-panthenol is presented as a water-soluble humectant. The stated amount is not an assay.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The level shown for serums and gels is 1–5% in this reference.
• The guide range for creams and lotions is 1–3% for the formula.
• Rinse-off washes may use the guide range 0.5–2%.

Panthenol is water-soluble and should be added in cool-down; a typical leave-on pH is about 5–6.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Panthenol does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Panthenol as it will be marketed for the specific product as it will be marketed.
• For Panthenol, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This formulation note gives a cosmetic-use reference level; it should not be read as a drug authorization or OTC listing with patch assessment and finished-formula stability testing still required.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; if oxidation risk calls for it, review a pump or airless format; confirm final stability and pack compatibility on a representative batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic formulation concept for Panthenol centers on comfort and humectant support.

• The development record provides no basis for therapeutic outcomes, clinical cures, or a certification the finished SKU does not hold.
• This cosmetic entry naming Panthenol should not be used to substantiate whitening, acne care as treatment, perspiration reduction, sun protection, or hair growth.
